Check out Legaltech News’ recent article, “North Carolina State Bar Launches Privacy Certification Amid Growing Cyber Focus!” North Carolina State Bar recently became one of the first bar associations in the country to offer a certification in privacy and information security law. Right now there’s more supply than demand when it comes to lawyers who know their way around privacy and information security. But companies and firms have demonstrated a preference for lawyers brandishing certification, such as those from the globally focused International Association of Privacy Professionals. TRU CEO Jared Coseglia expects that 2019 will see a hiring surge in positions such as privacy programming managers, senior associates, privacy consultants and privacy coordinators for corporations. He thinks that there could not be a better time for attorneys looking to transition into the field.

TRU is proud to be the certification attaché to the legal technology community and will be featured in Legaltech News every month with a new article about e-discovery and/or cybersecurity certification and education available (or coming soon!) to the marketplace.
